POPSConcern as China clamps down on rare earth exports The thing about this prediction is that it is a certainty, and only a couple of years away. The only alternative to renewables is to use much less energy. Lack of competition from renwables will accelerate the increase in the price of oil and coal.

POPSPuffing the great wind scam What is dangerous is that even contemplating such a mad waste of resources is diverting attention from the genuine need to build enough proper, grown-up power stations to keep our lights on. For that the time is fast running out, if it hasn't done so already

POPSMartha's Vineyard rich liberals: "No wind turbines, they spoil my ocean view" The hypocrisy of the wealthy celebrity warmists whose lifestyle makes a daily carbon footprint as large as one of China’s coal-fired plants is astounding. They reject a wind farm in Nantucket bay because it will spoil their view. I could care less that Al Gore has made a bigger mess of the environment with his nine concerts than years of single toilet paper use by the entire population could compensate for. I am tired of hearing that it’s my responsibility to reduce this myth of global warming. I’m tired of being told I’m “addicted to oil,” when the country’s entire infrastructure is built on the automobile. These people are idiots. I'd like to throw them all into Nantucket Bay where they'll be Aquaman's problem instead.

POPSCopenhagen Junk Science Summit Will Produce As Much Carbon as Malawi
The United Nations conference set targets for cutting global greenhouse gas emissions from farming, industry and transport in a bid to prevent dangerous global warming. The aim is to keep the rise in world temperatures to within 2C by the end of the century. Climate scientists believe a 40 per cent cut on 1990 levels of emissions is needed by 2020 " rising to an 80 per cent cut by 2050. At the same time, Western nations will be asked to pay into a fund worth around 100billion a year to help developing countries protect themselves against rising sea levels, droughts and floods, and build their own wind turbines, clean power plants and arrays of solar panels. President Obama and Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen have conceded that the conference will not produce a legally binding treaty. The UN has confirmed that the flights, rail, bus, food and energy from the conference will generate at least 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide.

POPSMessage to the Environmental Movement The greenie's not for turning The Independent is telling us that the Boy Cameron is facing "a growing challenge to his authority from senior members of his own party who say they have doubts about the Conservatives' stance on global warming." Leading figures including Peter Lilley, the former cabinet minister, Andrew Tyrie and Ann Widdecombe are openly questioning the political consensus on climate change. David Davis is also warning that the policy of tough targets to cut carbon emissions, supported by the Boy, is "destined to collapse". He criticises "the fixation of the green movement with setting ever tougher targets, in the face of failure to meet earlier promises". He adds: "The ferocious determination to impose hair-shirt policies on the public " taxes on holiday flights, or covering our beautiful countryside with wind turbines that look like props from War of the Worlds " is bound to cause a reaction in any democratic country."
